NJC Results for Employees

Jointly developed NJC directives provide important benefits to employees and guide many aspects of work in the public service. NJC "products" include:

The Public Service Health Care Plan administered by the Administration Authority which provides over $974 million in benefits annually to over 1.4 million Canadians (2014)

A dental plan which reimbursed over $107 million in claims in 2014

A disability insurance plan which delivered $304.9 million in 2014 in support to affected employees

A Travel Directive which covers all aspects of employee business travel, including $1.04 billion in travel reimbursements

An Isolated Posts and Government Housing Directive which helps employees in isolated locations through travel support, rent assistance and $36.3 million in isolated post allowances

Foreign Services Directives which target $138.5 million in allowances to address the special needs of employees who serve Canada abroad

Bilingual bonuses, relocation payments, commuting allowances

The National Joint Council also models innovative approaches to dispute resolution, including a unique grievance procedure where employer and union representatives jointly decide whether employees have been fairly treated within the intent of NJC directives.
